Subjects in this Topic:
(Heb. Maadyah', îִòִãְéָä , ornament of Jehovah; Septuag. Ìááäé῎áòá ,Vulg. Madia), one of the priests who returned to Jerusalem with Zerubbabel (Neh_12:5); evidently the same with the MOADIAH (Heb. Moady'ah', îåֹòִãְéָä , festival of Jehovah; Sept. Ìááäáß Vulg. Moadia), whose son Piltai is mentioned in Neh_12:17 (where some connection with one Miniamin is obscurely noted); the true pointing being perhaps îֹòִãְéָä , Moadyah', which will make both forms coincide. B.C. 536.
